COMBINATION BENCH-LATHE AND DRILL-PRESS.

Application filed September 4, 1915.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN M. BODENE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State 'of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Bench-Lathes and Drill-Presses, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved device in the nature of a combined bench vise and drill press adapted also for carrying other tools.

It consists in the elements and features of construction shown and described as indicated in the claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device embodying this invention shown in condition for the ordinary use of a bench vise. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of theupper portion of the device shown equipped with an emery wheel and work rest. Fig. 3 is a similar view of a portion of the device showing it equipped with pipe jaws. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the upper portion of the device equipped for operation as a drill press. Fig. 5 is a front elevation. Fig. 6 is a section at the line, 66, on Fig. 5, showing the different members assembled as in Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a section at the line, 7-7, on Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a detail section at the line, 88, on Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a section at the line, 99, on Fig. 3. Fig. 10 is a detail section of the upper part of the machine at the same plane as Fig. 6, showing the assemblage of parts which is presented in Fig. 4;. Fig. 11 is a top plan view of the fixed member of the vise with the aw member removed.

In the structure shown in the drawings 1 is the fixed member of the bench vise, 2 is the movable member mounted for movement toward and from the fixed member. For the purpose of such mounting and movement, the movable member is provided with two parallel bars, '3, 3, rigid with said movable member and extending through the fixed member in which the said bars obtain Specification of Letters Patent.

slide bearings at 1. Beyond said fixed member there is at the opposite sides thereof from the movable member the bars, 3, 3, rigidly connected by a cross-head, 4-. In this cross-head and in the fixed member be tween the two bars, 3, 3, there is journaled a screw shaft, 5, which extends through both walls of the fixed member, 1, (which is preferably formed hollow as illustrated) and obtains a further hearing at 2?. in the face of the movable member. The screw shaft is stopped against longitudinal movement with respect to the cross-head, 4, by a shoulder, 5 produced by reducing the outer end of the shaft for a short distance, and an operating crank wheel, 7 which is made fast upon the reduced end of the screw shaft for rotating the latter. .This screw shaft takes through and engages a nut, 8, which is mounted loosely in the fixed memher, 1, such mounting being effected by vertical, ribs, 1", l facing each other upon the inner walls of the hollow standard of said member, 1, which ribs engage with the grooves, 8 in the two vertical side edges of the nut, 8. The nut is thus stopped against movement lengthwise of the screw shaft with respect to the standard or fixed member, 1, so that the rotation of the screw shaft by means of the crank handle. tending to propel the nut along the shaft, propels the shaft itself with respect to the nut, which is prevented from moving by its engagement with the fixed member, 1; and thereby the screw shaft engaging the crosshead, 4, by its shoulder in one direction and the hub of the crank wheel, 7, in the other direction, propels the movable member, 2, toward and from the fixed member, 1.

The movable member, 2, is provided with a journal bearing, 2 extending at right angles to the meeting plane of the two jaws a little below the top of the jaws; and in thls bearing there is journaled a shaft, 10, provided at the inner end with a simple form of chuck, 11, for holding a drill or other tool to be rotated co-axially with saidshaft. This chuck is preferably formed integrally with the shaft and of greater diameter than the shaft, so that it forms a stop shoulder by which the shaft is stopped endwise against the inner end of the journal bearing. lChis chuck terminal is exteriorly screw-threaded to adapt it to receive a tool or work holder suitably provided with an interiorly thread ed hub, as for example, the emery wheel shaft hereinafter described. At the outer end the shaft, 10, has rigid with it a gear pinion, 15, and protrudes beyond the pinion and is adapted for engagement of a crank, 16, in any convenient manner, as for example by a cross-pin, 10, set through the protruding end of the shaft and engaging a notch, 16, in the head of the crank handle. On the forward end of the movable vise member, 2 in addition to the gear pinion, 15, there are suitably mounted additional wheels of a speed-multiplying train. As illustrated these wheels are a gear, 17 on a shaft, 17, which is ournaled in the member, 2, and has rigid with it a pinion, 18, which meshes with a gear, 19, rigidly mounted upon a shaft, 19 journaled in the vise member, 2. The shafts, 17 and 19, protrude from the gears on them respectively in the same manner as the shaft, 10, protrudes beyond the gear pinion, 15, and they are each similarly provided with cross-pins, 17 and 19", respectively, for engagement of the notch, 16, in the head of the crank handle, 16, for rotating the shaft and thereby the entire train. By this means it will be seen that three different speeds can be given to the shafts, 10, according as the crank handle is connected with either one of the three shafts, 10, 17 or 19. The jaw piece, 20, of the fixed member, 1, is made in the form of an anvil, 20, having the customary tapered terminal, 20, and carrying the customary removable up-standing cutter, 20 and this anvil jaw-piece is made removable from the fixed member, 1, and interchange able thereon with the jaw-piece, 22, of a different form adapted especially for cooperation with the movable member, 2, when the shaft, 10, on said movable member is carrying a drill or other tool mounted on its inner end. Said second interchangeable removable jaw-piece, 22, 22, has the jaw or rip-standing head to oppose the movable member and the tool carried thereby formed at the end of said jaw-piece, 22, remote from the movable member, 2. Both the jaw pieces, 20 and 22, are engaged with the fixed member, 1, by means of two downwardly projecting lugs, 23 and 2 1-, on said jaw-pieces, entering recesses, 1 and 1 in the top of the fixed member, 1, said recesses or sockets being respectively at the end to ward the movable member and near the opposite end. For security of engagement of the jaw-pieces with the fixed member, not only as against the pressure proceeding from the movable member when it is advanced for gripping or pressing the work, but also as agamst any liability to lift up from the fixed member, 1, the lug, 23, at the inner end of the jaw-piece is undercut or sloped on the side away from the movable member, and the cooperating edge of the recess, 2, is reciprocally undercut, so that when the parts are engaged, the pressure exerted from the movable member, 2, prevents the opposed jaw-piece, 20 or 22, from lifting up from the fixed member, 1.

substantially parallel flanges, 27 and 26,.

projecting off from said faces of each of the members, 1 and 2, the two flanges being in-turned toward each other so as to make substantially a dove-tail seat for engaging the heels of the pipe jaws. The pipe jaws are each made of a plurality of plates, 25, each provided at one end with the customary rightangled notch having serrated edges, 25, and the other end or heel being formed suitably to engage the slide-ways, producing substantially dove-tailed terminal lugs, 25". The several plates forming the respective pipe jaws,being, as illustrated, three in one of the jaws and two in the other,are secured together at the heel by bolts, 25 and spaced apart by fillers, 25 the spacing in each instance being suitable to accommodate a plate of the opposite jaw so that the plates interlock in'service and thereby stay each other against lateral in fringemeut.

A variety of tools or work-holders may be secured to the shaft, 10, for rotation thereby, such tool or work-holder being provided with a hub having an interiorlythreaded socket for screwing on to the exteriorly-threaded chuck 11. One specimen of such device is shown consisting of an emery wheel, 80, mounted between clamping flanges, 31, on the reduced portion, 32*, of the axle, 32, having its inner end provided with an interiorly-threaded socket, 232*, for engaging the exteriorly-threaded chuck as described. The end of the axle, 32, is reduced at 32 to form a suitable journal which obtains a bearing at 20 in the face of the jaw-piece, 20, when the movable member, 2, is suitably adjusted for entering said journal in said hearing. A tool or work-rest for cooperating with whatever may be mounted in the manner in which the emery wheel is above shown and described, whether it be work or tool which is so mounted, is provided so as to be mounted upon the movable member, 2, the provision for this purpose consisting of a fitting, 35, of the general character of a split eye, one of the lugs, 35*, between which the split is made being thickened or extended laterally, and the bolt, 33, which takes through the two lugs for clamping the split eye being the means of securing the fitting to the inner face of the movable member, 2, a convenient position for it being found between the two parallel flanges forming the slideway on that member for the pipe jaw, since the pipe-jaw and the tool or work-rest will never be both in use at the same time. The eye, 35, receives the stem, 36, of an angle bracket made of round steel rod adapted to be clamped tightly in the eye; and on the other arm, 36*, there is mounted a tool or work-rest, 37 which consists of a tablet having projecting from it a lug provided with a suitable eye for receiving said arm, 36", of the bracket, the lug being split and provided with a clamping bolt, 37, for securing the rest fixedly in any position to which it may be adjusted about or along said bracket arm, 36. It will be obvious that the bracket, 36 36', may be used as a toolrest without the member, 37, when that is more convenient for the process being performed. It will be observed that the adjustability of the fitting, 35, about the bolt which secures it to the member, 2, and clamps in it the bracket arm, 36*, and the adjustment of said bracket arm up and down and pivotally in the eye of said fitting, and the double adjustment of the tool or work-rest, 37, that is, adjustment both along the arm, 36*, and around said arm, makes it possible to obtain a position of the tool or work-rest within a wide range longitudinally and transversely of the axis of rotation of the shaft, 10, and angularly with respect to said shaft.

The device is adapted to be used as a lathe by inserting in or screwing onto the chuck, 11, any customary and suitable driving members for engaging the work, adapted to hold such work whether wood or metal,as, for example, the customary driving claw, 4:0, for engaging wood,and mounting a dead-center pin, 41, in the journal bearing, 20, above mentioned, in the jaw-piece, 20.
